Ep 25: Coaching with Purpose: Jess ‘Mamabear’ Rogers on Raw to Equipped and Why We Lift
It’s the Season 2 finale of Muscles and Malarkey, and we’re closing things out with someone truly special — my coach, Jess “Mamabear” Rogers
Jess has an incredible journey, from starting out raw to becoming a powerhouse equipped lifter. In this episode, we dive into her evolution as an athlete, the lessons she’s learned along the way, and what it really takes to be a great coach — not just someone chasing likes on the ‘gram.
We also get into the heart of it all: why we do this sport, what keeps us showing up, and how Jess’s passion has shaped the lifters around her. It’s honest, insightful, and the perfect way to wrap up Season 2.
🎧 Tune in for a conversation full of grit, wisdom, and a whole lot of Mamabear energy.
